  • A group of young boys play in the calm waters of the Indian Ocean on Meedu Island, in the Republic of the Maldives. The shallows are a safe playground for these kids who swim and splash about in the clear shallows next to two small dhoni boats often used to fish using traditional hand and line, an important source of income for remote communities in this island nation. The sea is perfectly clear blue and the sand coral-white, in jeopardy to rising sea levels as global warming makes sea level locations like this vulnerable to flooding. The Maldives comprise of twenty-six atolls, featuring 1,192 coral islands of which 80 are holiday resorts with 200 inhabited by indigenous communities. This Islamic nation of 298 sq km (115 sq miles), lie seven hundred kilometres (435 miles) south-west of Sri Lanka.

  • An aerial view looking down from a highpoint, on to the shallows and surf of waters near Lynton, Devon, England. Windsurfers traverse the windy seascape on a spring day on this south-western coast, one of England's warmest regions. Here, young surfers and ocean adventurers travel to these parts where the beaches are level and where the waves arrive at the coast in perfectly-formed breakers. In the picture, one surfer has fallen from their board, the sail now horizontal in the water. But the others are upright and travelling across the wind, expertly riding the waves.

  • Looking out to the Mediterranean Sea from the Akrotiri Peninsular, Cyprus, we see the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team, practising their display finale, the Vixen Break, a show-stopping manoeuvre of their 25-minute air show display routine. A rusted and crumbling hulk of a ship lies in the shallow surf and the Hawk jets used by the Red Arrows fan out above it using red, white and blue smoke. It is a calm sea near the shoreline and the shipwreck's remains provide a sad foreground to the dynamic flying beyond making a graphic landscape. 'Datum' is an axis on which the Red Arrows focus their displays, from where the whole show is visible at the crowd's centre. 'The Wreck' is but one of a series of datum points selected by the team leader at short notice to simluate diverse geographical features and wind directions. The wreck is the MV Achaios. Built in 1932, it was on a voyage from Yugoslavia to Jeddah in 1976 with a cargo of timber. She ran aground in a storm at Akrotiri Peninsula, but no lives were lost.

  • A young boy creates ripples as he plays with his radio-controlled boat in the River Thames at Dorchester, Oxfordshire. The sun is hidden behind a line of trees and the boy who is backlit stands in the shallow part of the river up to his ankles, wearing his swimming costume. The small boat is only a few feet from the antenna that controls its movement. It is a scene of idyllic tranquility, a childhood of happy summer days. Here the Thames is at its most serene, where visitors enjoy its shallows with the fear of strong currents, tides or large boating activity.

  • A male swimmer performs the Crawl across this scene of frewsh water bathing in the Serpentine Lake in London's Hyde Park. As the man twists his head to gulp in air, breathing a lungful of oxygen, he passes the lettering stencilled on the poolside warning of shallow water. This bathing area is where the normally busy Serpentine Swimming Club has the use of this Royal Lake known as Lansbury's Lido. It is now normally open only in the summer, but one traditional event occurs each year on New Year's Day, when the ice is broken and brave bathers dive into the cold waters of the lake. The Serpentine will be used for the swimming leg of the triathlon at the London 2012 Olympics. The pool was formed in 1730, its name from a snakelike, curve. Queen Caroline wife of George II ordered the damming of the River Westbourne and other natural ponds in Hyde Park...

  • The pieces of two games of chess await players as a crowd on onlookers crowd above to see the lunchtime tournament at the Broadgate office plaza in the City of London. The first modern chess tournament was organized by Howard Staunton, a leading English chess player, and was held in London in 1851. It was won by the relatively unknown German Adolf Anderssen, who was hailed as the leading chess master, and his brilliant, energetic attacking style became typical for the time, although it was later regarded as strategically shallow. Broadgate is a large, 32-acre (13 ha) office and retail estate in the City of London, owned by British Land and the Blackstone Group and managed by Broadgate Estates.

  • "Then raindrops fell on my head." Looking over the shoulder as a mother pours bath water from a toy seive on to the head of her five month-old baby daughter. The infant looks unsure but otherwise spellbound as the droplets fall, watching them leaving the pot to feel them trickling down. We see the child's trust for her mother and imagine her fascination with tumbling liquid, the feel of it touching her skin. This water is shallow, a child can drown in an inch of water so the mum is supporting the baby's head around the neck in the correct manner. This is from a documentary series of pictures about the first year of the photographer's first child Ella. Accompanied by personal reflections and references from various nursery rhymes, this work describes his wife Lynda's journey from expectant to actual motherhood and for Ella - from new-born to one year-old.

  • A two and half year-old girl watches her mother bath her baby brother in the bathroom of her South London home. She looks down at the correct technique that her mum uses by supporting his head with a hand, ensuring the child does not slip further into the warm bath water, the way that many babies drown in even shallow water. Such maternal instincts is how even young children learn to mother and care for their own children in later life, From a personal documentary project entitled "Next of Kin" about the photographer's two children's early years spent in parallel universes. Model released.

  • The Hamburg-registered Mol Caledon ship passes the giant dredging machinery at npower's Tilbury power station on the  River Thames northern shore, Essex England. Having just departed from Tilbury Docks with the evening sun glinting off the stern's reflective surfaces, stacks of tall containers are heaped high but evenly spread for stability along the massive vessel. They head out towards open sea, navigating through deeper water channels that naturally get shallower as silt chokes the waterways. Historically, the Thames has long been a route for shipping that kept the capital supplied and although the docks have seen huge decreases in traffic and volume since the second world war, Tilbury remains a busy hub for containerized vessels arrivng from all over the world.
